Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

Soups for All Seasons: Bountiful Vegetarian Soups

By Nava Atlas

Cold Zucchini and Corn Soup : page 90

A very good summer soup.
- To the simmered soup, I added about 3/4 of the zucchini and the corn (rather than half of each as directed). I would do this again, since the broth part was so tasty.
- I used water rather than veg stock. (Chicken stock would work too, but this is a vegetarian cookbook.)
- Used chopped shallots instead of scallions, which would be prettier.
- Used (sugarless) canned corn.
- The advertised servings are probably correct.

While the oil was heating to sauté the remaining zucchini, I took the like off the cooled soup, then absent-mindedly dumped the zuke slices into that pot, rather than the skillet. Oops. No good way to retrieve these, so I served the soup with raw zucchini. Which is fine with me, but less appreciated by my DH.

This is definitely a soup I'd made again. A good way to help use up the garden bounty, since it asks for 2# of zuke..

Hot Beet and Potato Borscht : page 30

A good soup! DH suggested puréeing some of the soup at the end.

Hot Slaw Soup : page 35

Tasty soup.
Can stop after cooking the veg for 20-25min (i.e., before adding oats, etc.).
